Your the pussy bitching and whining about a little work.

Right, even to call it work sounds absurd to me. Then again, I guess how strongly I feel about this for some reason is absurd too. Maybe some of us are just natural 'helpers', esp for those we love.

Even if it is not for Tang, when ladies need help decorating, moving heavy stuff, or doing dangerous jobs, that is what real men do. Tough it out and do not whine, you are giving the rest of us a bad rep.

Well thats what I would do too. But women insist on being equal. They divorce gratuitusly wreckink familes, leading to the beakdown of civilization.

Yes, every time you climb up a ladder, you endanger yourself. Add unfamiliar tasks, some electical wires, and cold weather, and the risk is increased.

Sure, I climb ladders, and I feel little fear about it.

I'll do it to fix a roof. But not to decorate a roof.

One is a necessary risk, the other isn't.

Well some sense.

I have seen women get downright hostile abiut just this when their husbands objected.

Absolutely common sense here.

"She" doesn't want to climb up there and hang the lights.

Why? Because it is dangerous.

So she wants him to do it. Because it is dangerous.

This is not a gender thing. It is a selfish thing.

A woman would be every bit as able, and in some ways perhaps better able, to hang the lights. It does not require any real heavy lifting. It requires agility. A smaller person is usually more agile (all other factors being equal).

Whenever we have to do something on the roof (notice "have to", not "frivolously want to") my husband positions and 'spots' the ladder while I climb up, walk around up there, and do whatever needs done. He's stronger, I'm more agile.

Even if it is not for Tang, when ladies need help decorating, moving heavy stuff, or doing dangerous jobs, that is what real men do. Tough it out and do not whine, you are giving the rest of us a bad rep.

So fuck 'em let them do it themselves or go without.

"The breakdown of civilization?"

We were talking about Christmas lights, Geez! Someone got up on the wrong side of the bed!
